True. But on the other hand it wasn't a bad idea to replace Maggie Mae and Dig It for the more obvious Don't Let Me Down. And looking at the results from this thread, most people don't give a sh*t for the two songs mentioned.

I thought Maggie May etc were included to give the album a live, spontaneous feel. Then they completely negate it with Long and Winding, Universe etc. I don't think Let it Be would be any poorer for loosing them

True. But on the other hand it wasn't a bad idea to replace Maggie Mae and Dig It for the more obvious Don't Let Me Down. And looking at the results from this thread, most people don't give a sh*t for the two songs mentioned.

This album is the third on my ranking:

1. Guys For Sale2. Abbey Road3. Let It Be

... and I like Dig It and Maggie Mae (don't love'em but they work as jokes) because of the living thing that Kevin's said ... and they are funny too! ... but although it's a pity that Don't Let Me Down and All Things Must Pass were not on the original released album I don't missed them if I think about what the guys used to do with some of the best songs when they're recording an album: they realesed them as singles!

Of course that the album would be even better with them but the same thing could be said with some of the other albums (except Please Please Me, A Hard Day's Night, Yellow Submarine and Abbey Road) if we think about the singles and the Magical Mystery Tour album: I Want To Hold Your Hand/This Boy (covers on With The Guys), I Feel Fine/She's A Woman (covers on Guys For Sale), I'm Down/Yes It Is (the 2 covers on Help!), We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper (Rubber Soul), Papperback Writer/Rain (Revolver), Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane (Sgt. Pepper's), Hey Jude (The Guys)

My ranking now:

1. Two Of Us2. I Me Mine3. Let It Be4. Dig A Pony5. One After 9096. Get Back7. Across The Universe8. The Long And Winding Road9. Maggie Mae10. I've Got A Feeling11. Dig It12. For You Blue

P.S. Tho I like Dig It and Maggie Mae they are down on my ranking because of the really good quality of the others: standars and hits on this really very underrated by almost everyone masterpiece :-/
